Are dual sport bikes cheaper on insurance?

[Aaron]

Well me being only 17 and only having a minumum wage job. I heard it was cheaper to own a bike. Don't get the wrong impression, I can afford a car and insurance. It's it cost too much money. I have less thsn 100$ every MONTH to myself. I should habe over 650. So anyways. I want to get a bike. Since i'll only be commuting. Social,work,school. Is it worth it. And if so what kind of bike shoukd I get. I'm 6.3 and big. Woukd a 250cc be a good start?

Yes that would be a good starting bike size. Even a DRZ 400 would be good for what your wanting. As far a insurance goes mine is around $100 for my 2009 KTM 450 with full coverage. www.usdualsports.com
